“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen” - Albert Einstein
A truly funny guy, not just a wannabe like the others. Wikipedia has these quips:
Brendan's life is swamped in stories and anecdotes-both true and fictional. For those who criticised his drinking he exclaimed: "Where I came from, to get enough to eat was an achievement. To get enough to get drunk was a victory." To accusations that the IRA court-martialled him: "Yes, I was court-martialled in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence. So I said 'go ahead and shoot me. ..in my absence!'"
Another occasion saw him enter a priest's house, badly shaking with alcohol withdrawal and gasping for a "cure". The priest provided him with a little whiskey in a glass, exhorting that providing him with it was like "tapping a nail into your coffin". Behan reportedly looked at the meagre amount and said: "You wouldn't mind giving the nail another tap would you father?"
Anyone got more?
O my God, a hardcore IRA man who even his own thought his actions to be that of a renegade.
He is known to have murdered a guard and still none of the usual crap......

No, I'd say Behan was witty enough to draw a laugh before he drew blood.
A poster of some consequence...
I hope so
